When Daisy Goes to Sea

A man wakes up one day and thinks:
How can agriculture withstand extreme weather events?

He pushes the thought experiment further:
What if cows lived on water?

The man goes to work and designs engineers builds a 10,000 ft experimental dairy farm that floats on pontoons.

Daisy is brought aboard –
and into a self-sustaining circular system.
She drinks rain and desalinated water.
Her poop feeds a soccer field, which in turn feeds her.
Her milk is processed into products for the people nearby.

The man feels he might be on to something.
Daisy thinks the view is unbeatable.
